I guess I see that more as an embodiment of the US government for decades, so I don't attribute that to Biden himself being a fascist. I don't think mass incarceration is inherently fascist, although I could be wrong on that. Everything else on that list has been US policy for my entire life. That would be the center of the Venn diagram where both side's evil overlaps, but I don't think it's enough to call Biden himself a fascist in the same way you can actually call Trump a fascist because he himself embodies all of the values. I don't think participating in a fascist system automatically makes you a fascist. Evil to ignore it? Yes, but that's not the same thing.
Can you explain exactly how Biden is a fascist? Regardless of what you think of him I don't see how that applies. The "both sides are the same" argument is getting very tiring, they're both evil, but they're absolutely not the same.
I literally don't know how the quote got messed up, I copied and pasted 🤷
I have no idea what's going on at beehaw.
lemmy.ml defederated from rammy.site
Thank you for actually reading some posts instead of blindly assuming things. I think the situation is a little different than I thought. Lemmy.ml defederated from rammy.site but not exploding-heads. rammy.site has no mods currently and a disinformation campaign was launched on it from exploding-heads. I went to look at exploding-heads again today and it seems much more mild than yesterday, but rammy.site is still filled with trash posted from exploding-heads. Maybe take a look there?
I didn't see the vaccine post you mentioned, but I would imagine it's out of context. I can't even seem to find it when searching.
Context matters though. If employees got a different vaccine because the company didn't trust their own, that's very different than employees got a different vaccine because it was cheaper. I don't know what the truth is there, but disinformation often involves using true facts out of context to steer towards false conclusions. It's very easy to manipulate people that way.
Since you asked me to provide some examples myself:

Out of context, this implies children get transition operations from the NHS.
In context, "For the first time, it has set a minimum age of seven for referral to the gender identity clinics. These children will be offered psychological support and therapy that will focus on issues that may have led to their feelings about their gender."

This one is a list of cherry picked climate change predictions that didn't come true. The vast majority of the scientific community did not come to those conclusions. In fact, I started to get the feeling they were made up, so I started checking the sources. They are actually, literally made up. They didn't even go through the effort of finding real predictions that went wrong, they just grabbed random quotes and paired them with institutions and dates. When you search the quotes on Google, you get different names, or just the same article copied and pasted.
Why does that make it political? If it was liberal disinformation and propaganda, or communist disinformation and propaganda, or Russian state sponsored disinformation and propaganda, it's still not a political choice.
Acting like this is political just seems like a guise to say "no I support this propaganda and disinformation campaign so let me call it political speech instead of what it is"
This is the closest thing I could find that was related, can you send me what you found?:
Any illegal activities which includes, but certainly isn't limited
to spamming, portflooding, portscanning, unauthorised connections to
remote hosts and any sort of scam can really not be tolerated here.
Why? Because there are many here on this system that can suffer from
this sort of abuse. If you want to use SDF, you really have to care
about this system and the people here. If you don't want to care,
then you really shouldn't use this resource.
Let's not be like Reddit and comment essays without reading the article. That's why. You don't even know what you're arguing for if you don't look at it.
If I have to take extraordinary steps here to see it here, isn't that on me? Isn't the apparatus doing what it is supposed to be doing if I seek out a thing and find it?
It's been all over my all feed personally, maybe you just don't pay attention to where content is coming from?
going out of your way to find if there is something objectionable anywhere

because other people might visit there directly instead of through federation

Therefore, due to that situation, they should not have an DNS entry so you work on their Registrar to "deplatform" them.
No, I believe the internet is the utility. Unless actual crimes are being committed, they can have their websites. The key difference here is lemmy.sdf.org is relaying the posts from its own server, and therefore participating in spreading harmful disinformation. It's not like a telephone company that lets anyone call, it's like a newspaper that published anyone's articles, or a bulletin board at the library that doesn't moderate what's there.
Maybe I should have removed the word "conservative" in my post. Oh wait, I didn't use the word conservative. This isn't political, but if you took it to be political, that would imply to me that you consider spreading false information to be part of the conservative platform.
You're reading the situation wrong. Go to those instances and read what's there, it's not about free speech, it's active disinformation campaigns and propaganda. I would feel the same if it was extreme leftist propaganda. It's not about creating an echo chamber. I respect the right to free speech, but that isn't the same as allowing people a platform to systematically organize hate using falsified information. This is a situation where silence is complicity. Their instance continues to exist without us, their free speech continues, but by remaining federated we are giving them a platform.
